Museu de les Aigües Cornellà de Llobregat

The Agbar Water Museum is a contemporary museum dedicated to water, which wants to promote knowledge and values from a vital, learning and playful experience.

It occupies the modernist buildings of the Central Cornellà, the plant that Aguas de Barcelona opened in 1909 to extract water from the Baix Llobregat aquifer and thus supply Barcelona.

Today, the Central Cornellà continues to perform the same function as it did a century ago, and the original steam hydraulic installation coexists with the modern impulsion pumps. Thus, the Museum is also, at the same time, an industry in operation, a place where past and present are intertwined on a common substrate: groundwater.

But above all, the Museum is a living space, designed to bring out the various manifestations and approaches to water, through a range of exhibitions and activities for all audiences.

educational activities

Through education, we want to move towards a more sustainable and respectful society with the environment, which values the importance of water in our lives. For this reason, we have created a program adapted to the different educational levels.

The program favors working in a contextualized way on the integral water cycle, sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals linked to the future challenges of water.
